Gratitude in Action | Building Recovery Capital Through Community
Hope Begins Here
At Gratitude in Action (GIA), we believe recovery is about far more than overcoming addiction—it is about rebuilding lives, restoring families, creating opportunity, and strengthening communities.
Our mission is to provide recovery housing, sober living, workforce development, behavioral health support, peer recovery services, and pathways to self-sufficiency so that every individual has the opportunity to achieve lasting recovery.
We believe that no one should ever be denied a safe place to recover because of financial hardship. Every day, we help individuals move beyond addiction, homelessness, incarceration, and other life challenges by building the personal, social, and economic resources needed for long-term success.
The Campus for Change
The Campus for Change is the heart of our mission and represents a new vision for recovery in Montana.
What was once an industrial property has been transformed into a vibrant center where people find hope, purpose, employment, education, housing, and community. More than a collection of programs, the Campus for Change is an ecosystem where recovery becomes a foundation for lifelong success.
Here, individuals can access:
Recovery Housing through Ignatia's House Sober Living
Workforce Development and Vocational Training
Peer Recovery Support
Behavioral Health Services
Parenting and Life Skills Classes
Financial Literacy and Employment Readiness
Housing Stability Services
Recovery-Friendly Workplace Connections
Community Events and Volunteer Opportunities
The GIA Thrift Store Social Enterprise
Community Partnerships that remove barriers to success
Every program is intentionally designed to build Recovery Capital—the relationships, skills, health, employment, housing, education, and community connections proven to support lasting recovery.
The PROSPER Model for Recovery
Our nationally innovative PROSPER Model provides a comprehensive pathway toward self-sufficiency by helping participants build Recovery Capital across every area of life.
PROSPER LIFE
Developing leadership, financial literacy, life skills, personal responsibility, healthy relationships, recovery support, and community engagement.
PROSPER WORK
Connecting individuals with workforce training, vocational certifications, apprenticeships, employment opportunities, entrepreneurship, recovery-friendly employers, and meaningful careers.
PROSPER HOME
Providing recovery housing, housing navigation, landlord partnerships, Ready-to-Rent education, household resources, and long-term housing stability.
PROSPER HEALTH
Supporting physical health, behavioral health, mental wellness, recovery coaching, healthcare navigation, wellness planning, and healthy living.
Together, these four pillars empower individuals to move beyond surviving toward thriving.
Ignatia's House Sober Living
Ignatia's House Sober Living, a division of Gratitude in Action, provides structured, recovery-oriented housing where residents build accountability, develop healthy relationships, establish employment, strengthen recovery networks, and prepare for independent living.
Our philosophy is simple:
Recovery happens best in community.
Residents are surrounded by peer support, mentorship, recovery meetings, workforce opportunities, educational programming, and a culture built on dignity, accountability, and hope.
The GIA Thrift Store Social Enterprise
Every purchase, donation, and volunteer hour at the GIA Thrift Store directly supports recovery.
Located on the Campus for Change, the store generates sustainable funding for recovery housing and supportive services while providing vocational training, employment experience, furniture assistance, clothing vouchers, and opportunities for individuals rebuilding their lives.
When you shop at GIA, you're doing more than finding great bargains—you are investing in someone's recovery journey.
Why Gratitude in Action is Different
Most organizations focus on one piece of recovery.
Gratitude in Action builds an entire ecosystem.
We believe lasting recovery is achieved by increasing Recovery Capital—the personal, social, physical, financial, and community assets that enable individuals and families to flourish.
By bringing together recovery housing, employment, behavioral health, education, family support, peer recovery, faith communities, and local businesses, we create lasting transformation rather than temporary intervention.
Our Mission
To promote recovery and sober living by creating opportunities for individuals and families to become healthy, self-supporting, and engaged members of their communities through recovery housing, workforce development, behavioral health support, and Recovery Capital.
Our Vision
A future where every person committed to recovery has access to safe housing, meaningful employment, supportive relationships, and opportunities to build a life filled with hope, purpose, dignity, and lasting independence.
Our Core Values
Gratitude
Recovery begins with appreciation—for life, for community, and for every opportunity to grow.
Hope
Every person deserves the opportunity to begin again.
Community
Healing happens through meaningful relationships, collaboration, and belonging.
Empowerment
We equip individuals with the tools, confidence, and opportunities to build independent, fulfilling lives.
